Upstate Visual
Arts in Greenville, SC, Offers Photography Exhibit
Upstate Visual Arts in Greenville, SC, will present the exhibit, Art + Architecture / Architecture + Art 2009, featuring architecturally themed photographs taken within a 40 mile radius of the Greenville area. The juried exhibit will be on view from Apr. 3 through May 2, 2009.
Artists were encouraged to look beyond the whole building and focus on textures, details, the way the building has aged or weathered, the way it interacts with users, the way the sun or rain hits it; in other words, a broader definition of architecture. Photographs will highlight what we take for granted so that the viewer may find a new appreciation for the buildings they pass everyday.
"Art photography is about seeing something special in the everyday and then allowing others to see through your eyes," says Philip Gott, a local artist and architect.
Photographs will be presented in one of four categories: The Whole Building, The Partial Building, The Detail, or The Progressing Building.
This event is part of Upstate Visual Arts' commitment of outreach to other local organizations and we are pleased to be a part of Architecture Month in Greenville, presented in part by the American Institute of Architects.
